What a great weekend

This past weekend was Shawn and Landon birthday party. Cody and traveled two hours have our first birthday party with them. This was Shawn's third birthday party and Landon's first. We haven't been to Shawn's other birthday party because of problems between Cody's parents and with Ashley and Jon (Cody's sister-in-law and brother). So now that Jon and Cody are becoming closer and Ashley and I have been really close, we will never miss another party of the boys again. We haven't see Jon, Ashley, Shawn, and Landon since April so this was a visit that was badly needed. We adore those boys so much and make good time of our visit with them all. We got to Ashley and Jon's home on Saturday that way when Shawn woke up in the morning he would have a surprise of his Uncle Cody there. And let me tell you that that boy was so happy to see his Uncle Cody. Sunday Ashley, her friend Liz and I went to get the party ready. WE had to pick up the balloons and ice cream. I did my best all day to help out as much as i could. Didn't get to talk much to Cody's parents because i was busy helping. We had such a good time at the birthday party. Sunday night Ashley and I stayed in so that way Cody and Jon could have a brothers night out. They had pizza and went to see a movie. It was so good that they got to do this. Cody really enjoyed his time with his brother. They are becoming so close again. Then on Monday, Cody's grandfather went to have surgery on his hip. He had a hip replacement. So we went to see him at the hospital after his surgery. Everything went fine for his surgery. Cody's parents and I are not on good terms right now. We got in a fight. Cody stuck up for me which was really nice. On another note i wanted to say to Jon and Ashley, thank you so much for letting us stay out your place and letting me help out at the party. We enjoyed our time with you all. Well here are some pictures of our time with Jon and Ashley and the boys. The calm before the storm. LOL
You will see why in the next picture.

Lynda I just wanted to tell you thank you sooo much for helping out at the party. And thank you so much (and I am soo sorry!) for being tortured by the rath of the balloons in the backseat.

The boys are so lucky to have such a loving Aunt & Uncle like you and Cody in their lives. They love you so much & it's apparent how much you two love those kiddos.

Hope you don't mind if I follow your blog ;-)
